Why should you choose me as your coach?

I work best with caregivers who need support in their own self-care. As caregivers we focus so entirely on the needs of others that we forget about ourselves. Love flows in all directions during these crazy times, and learning how to receive it is as important as giving of ourselves to others.

Christine's own experience with coaching has brightened her life and made her an even better coach. She says:
I have a coach, and I know the difference it has made in my life. She helped me keep my sanity while taking care of my partner, Alan, when he started his journey into early-onset Alzheimer's disease. Now that he has passed on, she's helped me to adjust to my new life. She has also helped me with my plan for the future and how to enjoy a real sense of balance between my leisure activities and my several professional endeavors.

The Benefits of Having a Coach

If you are thinking about hiring me as your coach, here's why you'd be making a good choice:

1. Most people have blind spots when it comes to thinking about aging and confronting illness. I'll keep you focused and thoughtful.
2. I encourage you to think outside the box, so that you expand your vision of what you want your caregiving experience to be like.
3. You might hit some road blocks in your plan. Two heads are better than one when thinking of contingencies.
4. I'll ask the right questions and make sure you are getting things done to help your ideas bear fruit.
5. Living a full, satisfying life has rewards at any age. I'll make sure your plan is complete and that you haven't left anything out.
6. You can feel comfortable sharing your feelings about death and the dying process with me. I have lots of training and insight to share and am interested in hearing your concerns. Dealing with the loss of others and planning your death with dignity can be a part of your plan. They don't teach this in school.
